A policeman involved in the killing of an African-American woman in the US state of Kentucky will be fired, Louisville city officials have said.
Breonna Taylor, 26, was shot when officers entered her flat on 13 March during a drugs investigation.
Mayor Greg Fischer said Brett Hankison, one of three officers involved, would lose his badge. The others have been placed on administrative leave.
Ms Taylor's name has become a rallying cry at global anti-racism protests.
Mayor Fischer did not provide more details regarding the decision to fire Mr Hankison.
"Unfortunately, due to a provision in state law that I very much would like to see changed, both the Chief and I are precluded from talking about what brought us to this moment, or even the timing of this decision," he said.
